The summary of the position is therefore, Urals is trading beyond the price caps, the ships being used to transport the oil has shifted from the European fleet, to the Dark and Grey Fleets, thereby thwarting the price caps on oil and sanctions on the export of stolen grain from Ukraine.
The solution, is secondary sanctions on oil - targeting the laundromat countries who are refining Urals oil for export. The answer is sanctions enforcement on stolen grain, preventing any ship to ship cargoes of grain using stolen grain must be stopped using enforcement, if not in the Bosporus where Turkey is facilitating the circumventions, then immediately on exit from the Bosporus in the Aegean Sea. Change begins with a conversation, followed by a the G7’s recognition of sanction flaws, followed by a determined movement to properly investigate grey fleet shipments and implement secondary supply chain chain sanction. If we don’t talk about this, and if we don’t act - we must then not be surprised to see the russian war machines capacity to keep a constant supply of weapons, ammunition and murderous missiles and drones used against Ukraine
The war in Ukraine is a multi dimensional war. There is more than one battlefield that may ultimately end this war. Geographical, military, informational, supply chain interdiction and economical battlefields. All important fronts in this war. This thread concerns the last two battlefields, but primarily the supply chain interdiction battlefield. The aim of the economic sanctions is to impose severe consequences on Russia for its illegal and murderous invasion of Ukraine, and to effectively reduce Russia’s financial capabilities to continue it’s aggression and genocide of Ukrainians.What are the sanctions on Russian Oil?As part of the numerous sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation as a result of the illegal invasion and occupation of Ukrainian, on September 2, 2022, finance ministers of the G7 group of nations agreed to cap the price of Russian oil and petroleum products in an effort intended to reduce Russia's ability to finance its war on Ukraine while at the same time hoping to curb further increases to the 2021–2023 inflation surge. Simultaneously and additionally to these sanctions, the EU prohibited the maritime transport of Russian crude oil (from 5 December 2022) and petroleum products (from 5 February 2023) to third countries using EU owned or controlled vessels. The EU also prohibited the related provision of technical assistance, brokering services or financing or financial assistance.The EU and G7 have prohibited the import of seaborne crude oil and refined petroleum products from Russia. The impact of the oil ban on Russia is significant. Around half of its total oil exports go to the EU. Price caps, agreed with the G7+Price Cap Coalition, have further reduced the revenues Russia earns from oil and also helped stabilise global energy markets. The price caps prevent EU operators, for example, from providing transport or insurance services for the transport of Russian oil above the cap. The policy allows Urals oil cargoes trading below the price cap to be shipped and insured by Western companies.
Why are sanctions against the horde important and relevant to the illegal invasion and war in Ukraine?
